I would be very careful with this. The form certainly is standard, but each embassy has a variation of the form that has English and whatever the particular language is for the Schengen country you are applying for.
If you hand in a Schengen application form that just has English on it you run the risk of having your application rejected for the simple reason that the person processing won't be able to understand English. Unfortunately my experience of the Greek embassy in London has been that they are incapable of forming any logical sentence in English and that's just the public facing people! Imagine what the level of English must be like for the pencil-pushers in the back room who process all the applications.
In a few years time we'll look back on immigration control like we look back on American prohibition in the thirties - futile and counter-productive.
